First thing you do to the engine is drop the shipping oil and put in some new stuff:
- Shell Advance 4T Motorbike Oil - 15W-40, 1 Litre - Supercheap Auto
- Castrol Activ 4T Motorbike Oil - 15W-50, 1 Litre - Supercheap Auto
Then check your valves... VERY IMPORTANT!!:

Might want to have a look at some mods to do to your bike as well:

I normally use this for people that just get new bikes but that bike needs a good go over.
I'd be doing the basics first. Getting engine running right, New chain, sprokets, brakes discs and pads/shoes. Getting leavers, handle bars then follow up with new suspension and cosmetics.
New rear wheel is a must looking at that thing.
You'll have some rack with those new fork, I would think.
Looks like it has a 10" wheel on the back already. The new forks you found might be suited for a 14" front wheel and you could add a 12" rear??
Can't trust many people these days. Luckly everybody on here are great people and will endevour to hel out the problems people face.
I'm sort of parting out my bike. If you need anything give me a buzz and I might be able to help you out.
I have a new 12" rear, 15mm axle new tread never used.
thanks i will adjust it shortly look what i found in the carbyUndo that screw 2 turns. Mixture screw should be on the bottom of the carbi. Take off the plastics and give it a hose down.
That looks like one of the DMN shocks.
thanks and u could be right there are no creases in the frame but the rake does look longer i thought it might have been to do with the 9inch wheel on the backthat screw in your second pic is the idle screw...
and im not sure if anyone else has noticed but it looks like the frame is bent as it has a lot of rake on the forks...
what color is the wheel?$55 for that wheel posted?
I have the front brake. Lines, caliper, master cylinder and I can throw in the brake lever and clutch lever to match.
yeah that video is ok if you have working brakes.
the main bit missing out of the video is you only want to keep squeezing the lever in about 3mm with the bleeder nipple closed, that will get rid of any air in there (you'll actually see the air bubbling back into the res).. once you've done that you can do as the video shows..
